Coastal engineering deals with complex systems that involve processes that are not fully understood. Physical modeling has become an important tool in the study of these processes. It allows researchers to control the ...

[ANGLÈS] In the field of port and coastal engineering there are multiple proposals that aim to
improve and optimize the offshore structures design. In fact, the complexity of working
with the phenomena of nature and its ...

Real coastal waves measured at 4 different locations in the world were analyzed in detail. Long travelled swell measured in the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, wind swell from the Atlantic coast of Costa Rica, short period ...

Wave penetration inside harbours has been one the main issues that port planners and engineers have
had to deal with in recent years. Wave conditions inside harbours trigger vessel movements; create
dynamic loads on port ...

The main aim of this minor thesis is to evaluate if we can accurately predict the mean wave overtopping discharge in rubble mound breakwaters with the tools we currently have. In first place, the available methods (Eurotop ...

The aim of this article is to show the operation of the Bares 2.0 wave buoy
and the Bares network developed by HCTech. In the marine sector it is highly important
to know the state of the sea for applications such as the ...

Waves are a key element of the maritime engineering. This has a great influence on the coast and
therefore is determining in the coastal morphology, due so much to the erosion as the deposition of
sediments. Also it is ...

Crescentic bar events at Castelldefels beach (NW Mediterranean) have been characterised using a 4.25 years dataset
(October 2010-December 2014) of time-exposure video images. Crescentic bars are observed during 41% of ...

A reparametrization of the Generalized Pareto
Distribution is here proposed. It is suitable to parsimoniously check trend assumptions within a Point-Over-Threshold model of hazardous events. This is based on considerations ...

The importance of improving wind-wave predictions for the NW Mediterranean coastal region makes it necessary to perform a study in-depth of wave generation and propagation mechanisms under sharp spatial and temporal ...
